First Soil Grow, In My Closet

Hey guys I'm on day 17 and I had some issues at first(some of you probably saw my attempt at hydro) I transplanted to soil since the title no longer fitted the thread.

Plant 1




Plant 2, this ones still having issues.


Plant 3


Plant 4


Plant 5(seedlings)


Plant 6

I ended up killing plant 2, she just got worse and worse.

drop the vermiculite and just use perlite. perlite has a PH of about 7 just about right for cannabis

I didn't use vermiculite, I used perlite. Where do you see vermiculite in my pots?

Here's day 18 pictures

Plant 1.He had some issues cause I left the exhaust fan off with the HID on.


Plant 2 died and now plant 3 is plant 2

plant 2


Plant 3


Plant 4 day 5



Plant 5 day 4

well how are my plants doing?

Looking good.
What are you using water + some kind of nutes?
What is your light source?

right now every other feeding I use a fertilizer that has 6-12-6 and there is blood meal in the soil. My light source is a 400 watt Metal Halide lamp. I supplement co2 twice daily once right after I turn off the lights and once after I turn them on.

you do not need to run co2 at night. when the lights are off the plant does not take in co2

oh, so I should do it during the day?

only when the lights are on does a plant take in co2. when the lights are off they breath in oxygen and release co2. just like people. that is why you dont run co2 at night. its a waste of co2

So you have some sort of soil hydro co-op there?
That is what the pics look like.
I could be wrong.

IF they are in soil they do not need nutes yet just water.
Looks like you might be overwatering a bit.

Good luck
Happy growing

ok I supplement CO2 during the day now and I put them in a huge tupperware bucket that I was using as a reservoir. They stay around 75-80 now and they are growing great.

Here is day 20 pics.

Plant 1 died so now plant 3(biggest plant) is plant 1

plant 1



Plant 3 became plant 2

plant 2



Plant 3(day 7)


Plant 4.(day 7)

give it three more weeks then send her home

three more weeks then flower them?
which ones? the two big ones or all of them?

depending on the space your working with..the # of plants and the wattage of your light
Im sending mine at about 1' 1/2 to make them more managable
There gonna grow fast once they get going in veg

oh well my biggest one is 6'' and the second one is 4'' I planned on vegging another two weeks and then flowering the biggest, and then a week later the second biggest, I've also still got 3 chrystal and 2 jock horror seeds on the way. that are sprouted.

and my bulb wattage is 400w MH with a 400w HPS for flowering.

my main concern is just losing more plants to mistakes.

We learn from our mistakes.
Thankfully these are usually fogiving plants.
